The waiting time of patients is an important factor related with service quality of a hospital system. An appointment system of patients is not popular, in special, in a private hospital. An appointment system is expected to diversify patients in time and to reduce patient's waiting time. Three appointment rules are suggested and analyzed to compare the waiting time of appointment and walk-in patients using simulation analysis. The results of two way ANOVA show that the time slot of 30 minutes for allocating appointment patients is better than the time slot of 60 minites in view of patient's waiting time. The results of the appointment level 1 also show that the constant pattern rule and the zigzag pattern rule give shorter waiting time for walk-in patient and for appointment patient, respectively.

This study aims to develop a mainline metering strategy considering queue imbalance among lanes that can reduce congestion at a toll plaza section by managing queue caused by mainline metering. The suggested strategy considers simultaneously optimizing the number of cars in merging area and managing queue by lane. This study analyzes the effectiveness of the strategy with respect to the average travel time and the occurrence rate of spillback using the PARAMICS. The results show that the suggested strategy has an effect on reducing congestion and improving operation efficiency at toll plaza. In particular, the congestion become more intensified when the length of waiting space is shorter; however, this study shows that the suggested strategy can relieve the congestion in that condition.

To effectively exploit the underlying network bandwidth while maximizing user perceivable QoS, mandatory to make proper estimation on packet loss and queuing delay of the underling network. This issue is further emphasized in wireless network environment where network bandwidth is scarce resource. In this work, we focus our effort on developing performance model for wireless network. We collect packet trace from actually wireless network environment. We find that packet count process and bandwidth process in wireless environment exhibits long range property. We extract key performance parameters of the underlying network traffic. We develop an analytical model for buffer overflow probability and waiting time. We obtain the tail probability of the queueing system using Fractional Brown Motion (FBM). We represent average queuing delay from queue length model. Through our study based upon empirical data, it is found that our performance model well represent the physical characteristics of the IEEE 802.11b network traffic.

교차로 교통신호제어의 입려정보로 단순히 차량의 대수만으로는 정확한 신호제어를 할 수가 없다. 여기에는 대기차량수, 도로의 길이, 차량의 형태 등을 고려한 도로의 혼잡량이라는 상징적 정보량이 적합하다고 할 수 있다. 그러나 상징적인 정보량은 입력정보인 실제적인 물리량사이에 서로 관련성이 없거나 상충적일 경우, 각 정보간의 선형성과 관련식을 도출하여 상징적인 정보를 얻는다는 것이 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 교통 신호처리에서 사용하는 상징적 정보량의 의미와 필요성을 고찰하여 본 후, 퍼지 이론을 통해 물리적인 교통 정보량을 이용 교통신호제어 상징적인 출력 정량인 교통 혼잡량을 산출하여 교통신호제어에 적용하여 기존의 교통신호제어와 비교하였다.

This study evaluated the quality characteristics of yukwa pellets and yukwa bases on the ratio of soju addition (0, 25, 50, 75, and 100% v/v). Yukwa base with 50% ratio of soju addition displayed the highest diameter, volume and specific volume. The yukwa base with 75% ratio of soju addition displayed the longest in length. The weight of yukwa base increased as the ratio of soju increased. Lightness increased in yukwa pellet and yukwa base as the ratio of soju increased. Lightness of yukwa base was higher than yukwa pellet, but yellowness and redness of yukwa base were lower than yukwa pellet. Air cell size of yukwa base decreased as the ratio of soju increased. The compression and cutting force of yukwa base with 50% ratio of soju addition were lowest, while yukwa base with 0% soju was highest. In the sensory evaluation, preference of color increased as the ratio of soju addition increased. Yukwa base with 50% ratio of soju addition was the highest in internal compactness, mouth-feel, and overall preference. The results show that a soju ratio of 50-75% addition for total liquid is useful in the production of high quality yukwa base.

In this study, damages caused by flash fire, overpressure, and thermal radiation based on the sizes of leak holes were evaluated using the areal location of hazardous atmospheres when natural gas leaked owing to the damage of pipeline in a LNG fueled ship. In addition, environmental variables (wind speed, atmospheric temperature, and atmospheric stability) and process variables (pipe pressure and pipe length) were classified to analyze the damage impact ranges caused by various scenarios. From the results, the damage range caused by the environmental variables was the largest, followed by overpressure and thermal radiation. Additionally, for the process variables, regardless of the pressure, length, or size of the leak holes, the damage range attributed to flash fire was the most significant, and the damage range was high in the order of overpressure and thermal radiation, similar to the environmental variables. The larger the size of the leak holes, the higher the values of the environmental and process variables, and the higher the damage range caused by jet fire compared to the environmental variables.

The influence of bus stops near signalized intersections is one of the important factors which cannot be negligible in the analysis of the capacity of signalized intersections. Absence of consideration of bus bay can reduce capacity and increase the time that the stop of buses block other traveling vehicles. This influence is reflected by the bus blockage adjustment factor in KHCM, but the factor does not consider the course of each bus passing the intersection. Particularly, left turn buses have more influence on the capacity than the other buses and require the minimum length of the road for lane changes. All the existing criteria can apply only to arterial roads on which mostly traffic flows are continuous. And the criteria. which can determine the optimum location and the minimum distance between a signalized intersection and a bus bay, is not prepared and the related study is insufficient. Therefore, a theoretical formula is derived in this study being based on the theories which are avaliable to apply to the situation of signalized intersections.

This study was conducted to establish the optimal condition for plant regeneration and acclimatization from somatic embryos of Panax ginseng. Cotyledon segments of Panax ginseng produced primary and secondary somatic embryos when cultured on MS and WPM media supplemented with 7% sucrose. To induce plantlet conversion, cotyledonary somatic embryos were cultured on WPM solid medium with $GA_3$ at various concentrations (1~30 mg/L) for 4 weeks. Plantlets were transferred to 1/2 WPM solid medium with $GA_3$ at various concentrations (0~5 mg/L) and 0.5% activated charcoal for shoot and root elongations. Elongated plantlets further developed into well-developed leaf and root system on 1/3 SH medium with 0.5% activated charcoal under ventilation condition for 5 months. The highest survival rate to soil was 75% when plantlets were regenerated on 1/3 SH medium without sucrose under ventilation condition.

In order to represent the surface characteristics in local meteorological model, soil type, vegetation index, surface roughness length, surface albedo and leaf area index should be prescribed on the surface process parameterization. In this study, the $1^{\circ}/1^{\circ}leaf$ area index, surface roughness length, and snow free surface albedo and fine mesh NDVI with seasonal variation derived from the satellite observation were applied to the land surface process parameterization. From comparison between with and without satellite data in the interactions between biosphere and atmosphere, land and atmosphere, the sensitivity of the simulated heat, energy and water vapor fluxes, ground temperature, wind, canopy water content, specific humidity, and precipitation fields were investigated.

The portable gas chromatography system was developed which was consisted of ambient vapor sampler(AVS), short capillary column(3 m long, 0.32 mm i.d. GC(SCCGC), photoionization detector (PID) and vacuum pump which was operated at subambient pressure. The seletion of capillary column was based on the theoretical calculation from Golay equation. The pressure ratio of column inlet and outlet appropriated between 1.03 and 1.2 in the system. The available column flow were 0.87∼4.63 ml/min at the pressure ratios. The AVS consisted of three concentric tubes and enables rapid, repetitive introduction of vapor samples directly into capillary column and showed good reproducibility. The subambient column outlet pressure with PID resulted in a significant increase in the optimum column flow, permitting rapid analysis. The baseline separation of m-xylene and o-xylene was able to within 40 second with the system. Parameters affecting the column resolving power were sampling duration, column length and diameter, and the pressure ratio. Effects of these parameters were investigated using bezene derivative compounds.
